Live updates the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2015, as Charlotte reviews results from today’s municipal primary election. Up for grabs are the Democratic and Republican nominations for mayor, as well as Democratic nominations for several at-large seats and district races.
The campaigns this year have seen LGBT issues rise to the forefront, a result of March’s failed LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance. I’ll be liveblogging and tweeting throughout the evening. Follow along with updates here below or on Twitter @themattcomer for updates, news and analysis.
